Many people wonder what season applies to winter tyres. The answer is that there is no set season for winter tyres, all-season tyres or studless winter tyres – you can drive on them all year round.
It is worth pointing out, however, that winter tyres are designed for cold and snow, and they wear faster when driven on clear roads at higher temperatures. So it makes sense to save your winter tyres over the summer, so they are in good shape when you need them in winter.
The law does restrict the use of studded tyres, however, so the studded tyre season is clearly defined. If you plan to drive on winter, all-season or studless winter tyres over the winter, it is a good idea to have them fitted in good time and save yourself time and hassle.
Please note that, by law, drivers are responsible for using tyres suited to the conditions at any given time. MAX1 Bílavaktin offers a range of Nokian winter tyres, all-season tyres, studless winter tyres and summer tyres.
